[GUIDE] How to keep the old CM10 partition layout & stay up to date with changes

OK, so the debate over partitioning in CM10 is all but done and I'm not going to discuss it here.
I've been building CM10 for my own use with the partition layout change reverted and this works nicely for me. But what about people who can't compile the source for themselves (for whatever reason)?
That's why I'm posting this brief guide to what I'm calling "fudgedating" (its like updating). Using the method below you will be able to stay up to date with all the CM10 nightly updates (except kernel changes) without compiling or doing anything difficult.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING
I'VE TESTED THIS WITH CM10 NIGHTLIES FROM 23082012 & 22082012 BUT IF IT FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU THEN I'M SORRY, THAT'S LIFE. RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & MOVE ON
What you'll need:
1. My cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip file (my nightly that has a working kernel with the old partition layout)
2. Any current Nightly zip of CM10
3. A computer with a Zip-capable archive tool
What you need to do:
1. Make a copy of cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and call it something like CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip
2. delete the /system folder from within CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
3. extract the /system folder from your official CM10 Nightly
4. add that /system folder to your CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
Now you have a CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) containing the kernel and partition layout from cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and the system from the CM10 Nightly.
Copy CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) to your SD card and flash it in CWM.
Reboot & profit
NOTE: currently you can NOT flash any custom kernels because there aren't any that support the latest CM10 while still having the old partition layout.
Whenever you want to repeat the process for a new Nighly, just do steps 2,3 & 4 again and flash it as before.
Please don't flame this thread. If you think its a bad idea then please state only technical objections to support your view.
All credit to Team Hacksung & Pawitp for the awesome effort that continues to go into CM10.

Well... old partition nightlies worked very good for me.So I will try this.
Anyway I noticed there are some jb ROMs with less changes than yours calling theirselfs stable so far etc.
Will you make thread of cm10 (or call it like you want) with old partition and newest nightly?
Thanks. Sorry for poor English.

Thanks but I don't want to start the hard work of maintaining a ROM thread. This is just instructions to stay up to date.
I do compile my own CM10 which you can download by clicking on my signature. Again, I won't be starting a thread for this as its really just for me but I don't mind sharing.
I will change the thread title though.

That's good to know. I think we both must have phones with the faster NAND because I didn't see any improvement when the official partition layout changed.

No need to wipe.
If you are flashing a new build over a previous one then you also don't need to reflash gapps

Managed to install your rom, and I got what I want. However I have a probler with Adaway said: /data/data/host not enough spare. Try Adfree solve the problem. Anyway thank you for the idea and rom.
Edit: Just discovered that System had only 300k free space out of 350MB. Maybe I have to delete some not important apk (like those live wallpapers) & unused ringtones.
Edit2: After deleting Chinese & Korean fonts Droidsansfallback , MTL* & Nanum Gothic, I got 12MB free space and Adaway runs smoothly.

That's fine. I think pawitp might get a bit lazy with the system size now that his build has a 2gb /system
Maybe I'll have to trim it down in the future.

A rom more in line with the Slim Bean philosophy (about 280mb system with google apps) would even allow you to create a larger datadata partition (at the expense of unused system partition space, circa 80mb) and improve usability. Using this mind-frame i guess we could gain some 50mb to datadata while still keeping 30mb free in system for people who want to add some removed system apps.
Nevertheless, this is your rom and ultimately your decision.

Its a good idea & perfectly possible. Pawitp just asked for some chip id data in the CM10 thread. It looks like lags could be associated with phones having the older Samsung MoviNand chip. Newer devices have a Sandisk iNand (same as Nexus S). I have the Sandisk so that's why the new partition layout made no difference to me. I'm not sure that increasing datadata would help. I don't use it because I don't see any gain in practice.

"Project butter" for ics Aurora_5.0_u9 compatible

Just flash in recovery, MOUNT SYSTEM before doing it!
This is not the project butter, more like a package of tweaks that will smooth the ui and some programs
I noticed a huge improvement in system ui as in application! fluidity is definitely better!

Can you confirm that it is flashed correctly and it is not a placebo?
Can you please check these 2 things:
1. is the last line of the /system/build.prop file the following
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
2. do you have an adreno_config.txt file inside /system/etc?
thank you!

Yes, i have the txt file. You have to mount system in order to be correctly patched.
See the original post for more details.

I'm testing this, and it really seems to make the UI smoother. There's only one small mistake after installing it, it creates an aditional build.prop file with it's contents being only "/n". It can safely be deleted.

Yes. This doesn't include init.d scripts, those are what slows down boot speed.

I haven't tried this but the correct line on the updater script in order for this to work is
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");
or this
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
rest is plain placebo

Other way to install is just to mount /system in CWM before flashing the zip (tested by me )

I'm having problems with some apps, after flashed project butter. I'm using go SMS pro(not the latest, but 4.30 version) which doesn't work any more. I have a lot of apps(~200), and except go sms I faced this problem at all -made by me- apps, which are some tutorial apps and 5 small apps. All of them are 2.2+ and work fine on 2.2, 2.3 and ICS rom(I've test them). The problem seems to be the same in all apps I tested. Appears only a black screen, and seems that something works(because If I tap on the screen I can hear the sound which indicates that something pressed), but nothing change visually.
So, I'm thinking that is some graphics problem which affects apps compiled on JB previous android platform(one of my apps is compiled with android 4.0 platform).
I don't care for my home made apps, because I can try to recompile them, but I want to keep using GO SMS pro 4.30 version, which has the offline SMS backup future.
Can you figure out what cause this problem?

Can this be installed in Elora 1.11.09? Or is this ROM already optimized/'butterrized'? :silly:

Many of my applications are built for ics, have you mount system before flash the zip? I have encountered some issues like those when I first flash the zip file and forgot to mount system..

I didn't see any changes in build.prop nor the adreno file in /system/etc, therefore I decided to flash the zip again, now with the system mounted.
Now I felt good differences in smoothness and apps looks like load faster but lost wifi completely.
Tried several reboots but no wifi.
Had to restore a backup. What can it be?

This isn't nowhere near to Project Butter. All this does is disabling the software rendering path via renaming the libGLES_Android.so file + some build.prop tweaks.
It should be just called as an another tweak package.. Since it's not project butter

Project Butter is a feature in Jelly Bean. This is just a package of tweaks, which are not relevant to Project Butter at all. It requires a lot of library changes to be enabled in ICS, this has no modified libs, it just disables one and edits build.prop.

Exclude apps from upgrade/installation when flashing

Hey together,
is there any chance to exclude single apps from the upgrade/installation process when flashing a new rom (nightlies)?
There's a bunch of apps I don't need or want, e.g. those "beauties" like phase beam, black hole, etc.
Maybe it can be done through a script in /system/addon.d or or a new zip in OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, with an addon.d script. I don't feel like making one right now, because that syntax gives me a headache. But you should be able to look at others, (like Chainfire's su one), and see what it does and how it deletes files. After that, you could puzzle it out yourself with some time.

Why? Free space in /system has no benefits, and none of those apps autostart, so you gain nothing by removing them.

Because almost daily backing up and flashing between ROMs needs less time, TitaniumBackup's list of installed apps is shorter and some of the apps I remove have some background services running which I don't want.

Those are the stock libs from a different device, copied from the thread that these originally came from here. Flashing them will replace the dalvik vm and some bionic libraries with the wrong, non stock versions.

i guess these files will (if) mostly impove your user apps. If you are in odexed rom.
Because of system apps allready extracted dex files.
After clear dalvik-cache, phone will generate only user apps dex files. System files will be ignored because of existwns of odex file.
Maybe, proccesing dex and odex file might improve tottaly.
Like i said, i guess...
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

These zips replace the dalvik vm binary and libs relating to the dalvik vm and bionic and should therefore affect all running apps, whether user or system.
As I understand it, there is no need to be deodexed to replace these files. Deodexing is for ease of modifying apks only. If someone has a link to correct me on this, then please do so, as I'm only an interested amateur and I'm always willing to learn something new.

Do u not read more? Its Google's 4.4.2 bugs.. Sony's specific bugs are like 10-15% maximum.. And these blobs aren't by some user, its officially given by Qualcomm and its just shared by some user.. And most importantly some user informed me when he compared checksums, our KK has already these blobs related to dalvik.. And problem is on all KK devices(4.4.2).. I highly suggest all users who just upgraded to KK, let the ROM settle.. And give it a few reboots, maybe along with a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe..

Get your facts straight boy, if it is from qualcomm it has nothing to do with the OS itself and it is a driver issue, which the goddamn Sony should have made sure that they are bug free. Giving reboots to solve problems!!! what a nice suggestion!! do all phones come with reboot instructions from factory??? That made my night, thanks.

Looking up the command itself and the switches, I don't think it will. This is like running a chkdsk for Windows or running ScanPST on a Outlook PST file.

No because you only use this when you have the problem it could still happen again this fix it
It's not a permanent fix, but it's always a fix if you understand I mean every time you get the problem, you use the command every time you use it it will work!

Okay here is a question. Is it possible to run that command from a updater script? So it could be made into a flashable zip 9n it's own and could fix bugs when user is not around a computer? That would be awesome.

You may want to check this old thread from the Desire. Looks like the dev did have a flashable zip to do this. Not sure if it needs to be updated to match our partition for the internal card. If I have time, I'll can look at the zip to see this does and update it for the M8. I am trying to finish moving to my house, build a swing set for my kids, get my network up and running so I can get back some MIUI porting... gonna be a fun weekend.

Okay here is a question. Is it possible to run that command from a updater script? So it could be made into a flashable zip 9n it's own and could fix bugs when user is not around a computer? That would be awesome.

The very problem itself encrypts your storage... I presume what you are implying is to put it on the external storage, but without that this is no help.
If the zip that fixes it is on your storage, it's not available till you actually run the fix manually suggested in the OP.

Exactly you would need to put it on Ext SD to run it

Would this work? for script if yes I will upload zip
Code:
show_progress(0.1, 0);
ui_print("Fixing /data Partition");
ui_print("HTC One (M8)");
ui_print("maxrdlf95");
ui_print("ef2sck on /data");
run_program("ef2sck", "-f", "-y", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p47");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Partition is fixed you can now use your phone");
ui_print("XDA-Developers");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);

Have you seen the change log for TWRP 2.7.1.0?
TWRP said:
Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.

So maybe this is the same thing.

Next question, will it matter that CM is now Android 4.4.3, with the newest nightly? Will that change the commands?

Repairing it's the same command? It's same it's destructive but I'm not sure if it's the change or the repair
